[-a-zA-Z] because a hyphen in the first position matches a literal hyphen. However, to be sure, you can use a backslash [a-zA-Z\-] For all regex questions, I highly recommend the Kodos app. It lets you enter Python regexes and strings and will show you exactly how they match or don't. http://kodos.sourceforge.net/ HTH, Todd On Jan 1, 2008 10:39 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think that should be an underscore: [a-zA-Z_] > Owen > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, January 1, 2008 10:36pm > To: Django users <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: Can I use a underscore in my url to separate variables? > > > ocgstyles, > I'm not sure what's going on.
